Our stay was amazing! We were a little concerned with staying on the water with an adventurous toddler but the extra lock on the back door helped us feel safe and comfortable. Our hosts were amazing, great attention to detail and easy to communicate if we were in need of anything, for example, where to buy bait. Honestly, the property had everything even a child booster seat and toys. Loved it! We will come back.

Five stars all the way! This quant house has literally everything and then some. Every room has a tv even the screened patio has a tv. Kayaks and SUP’s. Tons or them! Bicycles? Check…. The kitchen is fully stocked toaster oven, air fryer, margarita maker, electric flat top. The inside is great everything is brand new. The outside is even better. Huge deck screened in area. Grill. Firepit. We saw tons of manatees swimming by. The sunset it neat as it sinks down the other end of the canal. One left turn and you’re kayaking on the main river. Long story short, We can’t wait to return. And the host are great too they had little special touches waiting for us. Awesome.

Trish & Brock were amazing hosts, and helped accommodate our needs to make a very pleasant stay. Their home was very clean! And there were so many extra items available to make us feel at home. They definitely go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, and then some!! We enjoyed coffee and breakfast every morning by the dock, and saw manatees! My husband enjoyed kayaking to Hospital Hole, which he said was a very easy paddle. The outdoor shower was so refreshing! We didn't utilize the bikes, but there were even bikes available for us. We lucked out with perfect Florida weather, and we are looking forward to visiting again!

This was a very clean and well-furnished home. The third bedroom was small but will accommodate one adult well. We loved the outdoor space and the dock was great for our boat. Kitchen contained all needed supplies for making meals and the grill was great! The canal is convenient to the river but you will need to watch the tides if you have a larger boat. We also enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboards provided. Great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Trish and Brock Sullivan

Host profile image
Hello! Brock and I are avid travelers. We love exploring the world with our children and feel so blessed to be able to do this with them. We use VRBO and other rental platforms whenever possible because when you have 2 growing boys, a hotel room just isn't going to cut it. Having said that, we know firsthand what it's like to be hosted and would love to provide a safe and memorable getaway for all of our guests. We hope to host you at Wet Feet Retreat in the future!

Why they chose this property

There’s something magical about Weeki Wachee—its Old Florida charm and breezy coastal energy make life here feel like a permanent vacation.

Wet Feet Retreat at Weeki Wachee offers guests a unique opportunity to witness manatees in their natural habitat without leaving our dock, especially during cooler months. For many of our guests, these encounters make for a truly unforgettable experience. With direct access to the crystal-clear Weeki Wachee River and a private dock, it’s the perfect setting for kayaking, paddleboarding, boating, and soaking in the surrounding wildlife.
